Keto Pumpkin Soup Ingredients
This keto pumpkin soup requires only a few healthy and naturally low-carb ingredients that are easy to find in any store. Here is a list of everything you need:

- Vegetables Broth – You can replace it with chicken broth.
- Heavy Cream – This ingredient adds a silky and creamy texture to the soup. You can skip it to make a dairy-free version of this soup and use coconut cream instead.
- Butter – use unsalted butter since the broth is quite salty. You can also use olive oil or any other vegetable oil.
- Onion and garlic – give an intense flavor and extra savouriness to the soup.
- Salt&Pepper – to taste.
- Thyme – this is one of the common ingredients used to season soups since it gives a sweet and peppery flavor.
